This past Sunday I asked a for some inspiration on perennials for fall plantings. Here is a summary of what people suggested. I've simplified this post to show only the specific perennials themselves but those who commented offered some great ideas for where to use these perennials and some other options like trees and shrubs so please go back and read the comments for some more inspiration!

As you look over the list you may notice some favorites that repeat themselves. Things like rudbeckia, coneflower, phlox, daylilies and verbena all seem to be well liked! There is definitely a lot of perennials to choose from; time to make a list!
